Our experience at Antelope Canyon was absolutely amazing! The place was breathtakingly beautiful, and being there in person was truly an incredible experience. It was even more special thanks to our tour guide. I unfortunately can’t remember her name, but she was so kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. She took the time to explain everything, answer all our questions, and even helped us adjust our camera settings to capture the best pictures of the canyon. She also kindly offered to take pictures of us and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the beauty of the place without feeling rushed. The entire experience was a 10/10! I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Antelope Canyon. It’s an unforgettable experience, and having such a wonderful guide made it even better! ❤️

After taking in the massive scale of the Grand Canyon's North, South, and West Rims, Lower Antelope Canyon was a wonderful change of pace. While the Grand Canyon is about endless horizon, this tour is all about intimate, stunning beauty up close. Walking through the winding slot canyon was breathtaking, and our Navajo guide made the experience 10 times better. They showed us exact vantage points and hidden angles we would have completely missed on our own, helping us take the best photos of our entire trip. Don't skip this tour—and definitely listen to your guide!

Antelope Canyon is fascinating. The colors and textures are almost surreal. Everything looked like you could reach out and make it wave. Our tour guide, Kaila, did a wonderful job of describing what we were experiencing. Pointing out the features made it fun. She was polite and appreciative of our age. The history of the canyon was insightful and gave us lots to think about. All in all we put Antelope Canyon as a highlight of our 12 day adventure from Arches to the Grand Canyon. Antelope Canyon was just as Grand.

Brandon was our guide. He took his time with our group, pointing out interesting features in the rock formations. He was very helpful , showing us how to use our cameras to take the best pictures. He even went out of his way to pick us up, so our group didn't have to walk so far at the end of our tour. We enjoyed hearing his stories about growing up in the area. Wonderful tour and guide!

Our tour started viewing the land and surroundings. Then we were taken to the slot canyon which was wonderful to see, walk through, and enjoy. My husband and I were the only ones on the tour and were given VIP treatment. The woman who brought us around was friendly, knowledgable and a joy to be with. I highly recommend the guide as well as her family location for the tour.

The tour was absolutely amazing, and the Antelope Canyon was incredibly beautiful — truly a sight to remember! My brother and I drove all the way from Las Vegas, and it was 100% worth the trip. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate about the area. They did a fantastic job explaining the history, geology, and little details that made the experience even more special. We never felt rushed and were kept informed throughout the entire tour. This was more than just a tour — it was an unforgettable experience and a memory that my brother and I will cherish for a lifetime. Definitely a must-do if you're visiting the area! Thank you for making the experience so memorable! ❤️

The guide David was really great, he knew every nice photo spot and took photos of us and also of the nice spot. He was so into the tour, he took us thru untracked path which we loved! Just a small negative experience, girl in reception wasn't so friendly and she was bored to tell us more about where we has to be (where is the bus spot) and when. We had to ask her twice, but she didn't say anything, just hmmm. Also little reminder, you should write in your informations that people has to check their time difference, because we travelled from Kayenta and the time jumped backwards and towards and we arrived 2 hours before the tour.

Really enjoyed the whole experience. The canyon tour was amazing and our guide was excellent. He was friendly, knowledgeable and made the experience even more enjoyable. Everything with Headout was smooth and easy. The app was simple to use, the communication was great, and the follow up emails were really helpful. I also got the best price possible for the experience with free cancellation option. Overall, a great experience from start to finish. I would 100 per cent happily use Headout again for my next trip :-)

We loved our raft ride with Pat. The canyon is beautiful to see from the water! We took so many pictures and really enjoyed the trip. The half- day (3 hour) tour is perfect. My only negative comment is the communication loop with the company. The info they send to people that are meeting at the boat launch is very confusing. The arrival time details are not correct in the link provided in the text. Ended up we were an hour early at the boat launch and had to call the company to ask for further info.
